Craig (12/5/2006 12:23:55 PM): oh i saw that but it only promoted how fantastic GTA was
Me (12/5/2006 12:23:57 PM): and i only liked the oscars when LOTR won a ton of awards
Me (12/5/2006 12:24:08 PM): and the grammys are awful
Me (12/5/2006 12:24:20 PM): the mtv awards are the worst now too
Craig (12/5/2006 12:24:23 PM): and GTA is fantastic but its not the greatest video game ever...that distinction is super mario bros
Me (12/5/2006 12:24:42 PM): yes
Craig (12/5/2006 12:24:52 PM): oscars are joke even when LOTR won
Me (12/5/2006 12:25:16 PM): only cause they snubbed them for two years and then gave them all of them the third year
Craig (12/5/2006 12:25:34 PM): that is because of how much money it made
Me (12/5/2006 12:25:44 PM): yes of course
Craig (12/5/2006 12:26:07 PM): i used to think 'oh my god my favorite _______ didn't win' then i realize i still loved ______ whether it won something or not
